No stitching today. And boy is my stress level showing it!
It has been a very long and frustrating day. I am looking forward to a blissful non-busy day tomorrow to get caught up on some household bookkeeping & some make up stitching :)

No Dice Today
But I am over halfway through a new bottle holder! I found some yarn at Wal Mart that had red and blue and purple! Bud didn't like it, but I bought it anyway since it is so groovy! I'll get a picture of it as soon as I get it finished.
Happy National Crochet Month!

New Earrings!
In honor of the third day of National Crochet Month, I crocheted another pair of earrings! Baby Girl wanted to wear them since they're so AWESOME!!! So I let her :)
Actually, I must confess, I had hoped to do the earrings as a make up for not doing a project on Friday. I had planned on making the 6-sided die today to add to the 4-sided one I made yesterday. However, I didn't make it :( Hopefully I'll be able to get 2 done tomorrow night. Maybe I'll even remember to put the numbers on the sides before I put them together this time.
New size 10 crochet thread is also on my to-do list for tomorrow. Either finding it or buying it. The stuff I got with the earring kit is kelly green and is very pretty, but I would like to make some of the earrings in other colors. So I may go shopping for the thread & get some more beads while I'm at it.
Since in addition to being National Crochet Month it is also National Craft Month, I am going to see if I can find a tatting shuttle. I have a book to learn from & it even came with a DVD, but I don't have a tatting shuttle. Learning to tat is something I've wanted to do for a long time. I think now may be the time to try it.

Happy National Crochet Month!!!
I am so happy it is March! Do I have some projects ready! I am sooooo ready for some quality time with my hooks. Cookie season for Baby Girl's troop is officially over and boy, am I glad!
So for the first day of National Crochet Month I visited the blogs of the day. Great designers' blogs for each day in the month! How exciting!! I found a fun seaming technique new to me on one of them.
On the second day of National Crochet Month I crocheted the first in a set of gaming dice. I was so excited to get one done that I didn't put the numbers on the sides before I put it together. I'll be adding numbers tomorrow. That first is a four-sided die, aka "d4" for those not hip to the gaming vernacular. My plan is to have a whole set of gaming dice by the end of March.
Another project (also a set) is earrings from a kit I got from Mary Maxim . The ones in the picture show earrings made with cream colored thread. I got kelly green! I've made one pair already and they are so pretty I can't wait to get the rest of them made. It came with enough stuff to make a total of 6 pairs of earrings. Most of them have little tiny crystal beads on them and are sparkly as well as being a eyeful of crochet grooviness!
